I don't think I did more or less than in any average workout, but it all felt very... efficient today. I felt strong, nobody got in my way, and I just whipped through my sets like nobody's business. Plus, I improved my presses just a little bit more.
Row - 1000m/4:53 min (I was trying really hard for sub-5 on this. It was challenging.)
Bent-over rows - 25 lb db x 12, 10, 10, 10 (per arm)
Squats - 65 x 10, 10, 10, 10 (keeping my feet closer together on these makes them harder)
Presses - 55 x 8, 6, 6, 6 (I believe that last time was something like 7, 6, 4)
(I alternated the sets of squats and presses, with minimal break in between -- just walking the length of the gym -- so that may have added to the perceived efficiency.)
Row - 1000m/5:23 (nice and easy, on purpose)
Ball tucks - 12 (you know, hands on the floor, feet on the ball, tuck knees to chest. These were HARD!)
Plank - 50 seconds
I've decided to try to work in exercises I can do bent over or belly-to-the-floor (like the rows, the planks, ball tucks, push-ups), and avoid stuff that puts me leaning back (incline presses, v-sit ball tosses). The baby is going to start to move into a head-down position starting any time, and there's a better chance of him landing in an anterior position (he should be facing my spine) if I avoid back time, and spend some time on my hands and knees. Oh shush. It's true.
